I am consciously trying to more away from pairing my skirts with a black (or white) top. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but it can get boring over our long Summers. </p> <p>Thanks Jonesy. No-one ever, I mean ever, tells me I look glowing. Obviously I need to wear this colour more </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive/page/2#post-2350944 Mon, 29 Jan 2024 01:27:41 +0000 SarahD8 2350944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wanted to quickly say how much I enjoyed seeing these outfits! So cohesive, but so much variety within a tight color palette and a small group of items. I really like the way you layer items to alter the color or create a patina-ed look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive/page/2#post-2350778 Fri, 26 Jan 2024 20:13:50 +0000 Jonesy 2350778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Magical earthy (color palette) elegance, as usual! I agree about how difficult it is to find dark floral patterns in spring/summer, especially cotton or natural fibers. Your new skirt is gorgeous! I admire your delightful textural play and your accessorizing is on point, per usual. You seem to glow in these earthy colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive/page/2#post-2350680 Fri, 26 Jan 2024 00:43:36 +0000 Brooklyn 2350680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, please !!!! Thanks Bijou </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive/page/2#post-2350678 Fri, 26 Jan 2024 00:33:40 +0000 Bijou 2350678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are sublime, Trinny needs to send you that scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350628 Thu, 25 Jan 2024 09:54:07 +0000 Brooklyn 2350628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all!</p> <p>Val, I get that. My mum calls these colours drab, sepia colours! I find them rich and warming. Kind of spicy! I think adding some metallic items helps to lift them. </p> <p>Thanks Lisa. My objective in one. </p> <p>Column, ha! I’m very happy with Queen Olive and Queen Ombré :)</p> <p>Joy and Cat2, I think ST is right when she says warm colours, when available, are often done in less sophisticated pieces than cool colours. It can be frustrating.</p> <p>RC, I am waiting and hoping for the return of large scale dark floral. It’s been a while. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350577 Wed, 24 Jan 2024 20:11:34 +0000 Val MN 2350577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the tonal, textured looks. Golden olive is one of those colors that seems drab and even ugly in my mind, until I see it in a context like your outfits where it is really quite beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350561 Wed, 24 Jan 2024 16:46:39 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2350561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore how you’ve taken a non-summer-traditional palette that suits you and found all the right shapes and fabrications to make it work. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350550 Wed, 24 Jan 2024 15:09:39 +0000 Column 2350550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hereby dub you Queen Olive—or maybe just Queen! YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350547 Wed, 24 Jan 2024 15:04:18 +0000 Anonymous 2350547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am finding warm colors severely lacking at retail except bright yellows.<br />i will wait but now find some things on Consignment. &nbsp;You have a wonderful collection.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350531 Wed, 24 Jan 2024 14:00:59 +0000 cat2 2350531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So good. I agree warm tones can be hard to find for Summer. Some years they are available but are too safari, and others years not available at all. Your collection is terrific. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350498 Wed, 24 Jan 2024 06:20:48 +0000 Carla 2350498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I’ve seen this colour described as ‘old gold’ also. &nbsp;Beautiful colour, and you wear it well. &nbsp;LOVE the dark floral skirt and agree on the difficulty of finding same. &nbsp; Big, romantic florals on a black or navy ground are HEWIs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350496 Wed, 24 Jan 2024 06:12:23 +0000 Brooklyn 2350496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! I know these colours are not universally popular (my mum hates them!), so extra thanks for indulging me.</p> <p>Jaime, well spotted! The cuffs sit quite firmly on my wrists. Not loose like bangles. So they don’t get in my way at all. I love a loose collection of layered bangles but I find the clack-clacking annoying! So this works better for me. </p> <p>Angie, I will happily accept both those titles! We’ve had a very humid Summer this year. It’s definitely tested my cool, calm, collected persona. But my outfit formula is working very well. Long skirts are hotter than shorts or shorter dresses but they do allow me to go without sunblock on my legs. At least that’s one part of me that doesn’t feel clammy, ha ha!</p> <p>Thanks Ket. I can see you in this colour too. Nice with plum and burgundy.</p> <p>Sal, I’m not sure if I’ve seen you in olive? I think it’s quite versatile. It can lean cool (grey) or warm (yellow) and either clear or muddy. </p> <p>Thanks slimcat, FC and Dottie. </p> <p>Rachy, ha! Perhaps for a moment you thought Trinny was doing a guest post?</p> <p>Thanks Suz. Yes, it’s taken a while but I feel like I have finally figured out how to handle Summer. It is satisfying. I am surprised you are thinking about DIY! Be warned, I think chartreuse (any of the olive tones actually) is quite difficult. The more mixed (non primary) the colour is, the harder it is to get exactly right. </p> <p>Thanks Jules.</p> <p>Thanks pirouette. It’s not an easy colour to find here either. But easier than, say, 5 years ago. I will stock up.</p> <p>Thanks Helena and RobinF.</p> <p>Thanks Lyn. Metallics, colour and texture have been a big focus for me this Summer. Usually I’m much more focussed on pattern. It’s made things more interesting.</p> <p>Thanks Dee, “shimmer” is such a great word. I think I will add it to my list :)</p> <p>Thanks ST. Good luck with the olive hunt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350488 Wed, 24 Jan 2024 02:39:46 +0000 Jaime 2350488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A delight as always Brooklyn! I of course looked at the pics first, and thought wow #7 is a textbook lesson in texture before I read that was your goal, so hats off! The graduated effect in the last one is stunning. I love the cuffs - they don't bother you while typing?&nbsp;<br />Simply beautiful and thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350457 Tue, 23 Jan 2024 21:29:39 +0000 Angie 2350457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA: The Wonder Woman cuff are awesome!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350456 Tue, 23 Jan 2024 21:28:15 +0000 Angie 2350456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOOOHOOO! Great to see again, <b>Brooklyn</b>! I'm trying to keep up with everything too, and relate! I don't see my own hecticness and life turbulence improving until the second half of the year - and hope that yours does. Hope you go on a proper holiday soon too :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I hereby crown Queen Golden Olive! You wear it better than Trinny.&nbsp;</p> <p>KILLER all round! You always look beautifully turned out. I expected nothing less! (My late Mama wore this palette and rocked it - like you!)</p> <p>LOVE THE NEW SKIRT!! KILLER sensational on you!! Pretty, breezy, and chic. Especially gorgeous in #3 and #5! Smashing with the beads. Yes, agree that golden olive is related to a much brighter chartreuse.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love a column of non-neutral so #9 is joyful for me too! Queen Ombré wears it to perfection. The gold jewellery in that outfit packs a very effective punch!&nbsp;</p> <p>Looking cool, calm and collected in extreme Aussie heat. Impressed! :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350449 Tue, 23 Jan 2024 19:00:00 +0000 Ket 2350449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning as EVER! I do very well in the golden greens myself, so I love seeing your representations. You have such great taste and eye for everything in your outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350447 Tue, 23 Jan 2024 18:37:18 +0000 Sal 2350447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a treat to wake up to. Great tonal outfits and the accessories and clothes blend so well - looking very easy but also sophisticated. </p> <p>I will have to see what this colour looks like on me - I do like a warmer olive but chartreuse is not my best.</p> <p>I do have this colour in my home and love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350446 Tue, 23 Jan 2024 18:01:05 +0000 slim cat 2350446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous all around! Love how all supporting acts - shoes, jewelry, bags - work seamlessly together with outfits!&nbsp;<br />Olive color variations are not my colors - but perfect on you. Rose quartz is adorable of course! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350445 Tue, 23 Jan 2024 17:39:24 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2350445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look stunning in these colors, Brooklyn, and just gorgeous outfits all around. I love the almost shimmery look of golden olive; to me it really evokes bronze or antique gold, which you mention and play up with your jewelry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350443 Tue, 23 Jan 2024 16:58:48 +0000 Dottie 2350443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love this color, and rose quartz while we're at it! &nbsp;They seem to suit my soft autumn palette well. &nbsp;I love all the outfits, but particularly like the graduated olive. &nbsp;So nice and tonal. Thank you again for all your inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350441 Tue, 23 Jan 2024 16:09:23 +0000 rachylou 2350441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful colour on you! I could not wear it so well. But also: I looked at the pictures before reading and did a double-take there. I was *like* wait, who’s thread is this? Lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350440 Tue, 23 Jan 2024 16:04:23 +0000 Suz 2350440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, an all cotton skirt in a dark floral - that is, indeed, a super find! And it looks amazing on you. I agree, these are all "neutral, but not" outfits -- calm but at the same time glowing, and you look amazing in every one. Love the day to evening versatility, and also love the layered vest in the day version! Fabulous outfit on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>The others are equally great. I just love how you have found a summer formula that feels "you" and feel dressy enough while also remaining practical. Still my huge summer style goal -- though I am not yet there. I think I may have to dip my toes into the world of dye to achieve this.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350439 Tue, 23 Jan 2024 15:56:25 +0000 Jules 2350439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this palette - beautiful outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350438 Tue, 23 Jan 2024 15:46:06 +0000 pirouette 2350438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that golden olive colour it looks amazing with your hair colour. I have a scarf in it from Cos I bought several years ago but have never found anything else in that colour it’s pretty rare in the shops where I live.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350433 Tue, 23 Jan 2024 14:33:45 +0000 Helena 2350433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your artistry shines through as usual Brooklyn!

Thanx for posting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350414 Tue, 23 Jan 2024 12:21:47 +0000 Dee 2350414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well your golden olive combinations are stunning and &nbsp;all are gorgeous, love the additional metallic shimmer. Enjoy that holiday too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desert-rose-3-golden-olive#post-2350404 Tue, 23 Jan 2024 11:52:03 +0000 Anonymous 2350404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love outfit 5 especially! And it's a great color on Trinny too!<br /> I wear dark olive, but would like to find some of this golden olive too. Would probably wear as accents though- cause it could look too nude on me, like Zaeobi said. </p>
